Vineland, NJ – Dr. Alexis Reyes, Psy.D is a forensic psychologist and the owner and director of Forensic Psychology Services. Dr. Reyes’ website explains forensic psychology as “the application of psychology to the law.” “Forensic psychology does NOT involve talking on the couch,” Dr. Reyes adds. “My work focuses on providing psychological assessments for the court to assist in their understanding of issues pertaining to mental health. That may look like evaluations for criminal and family court or civil proceedings.” Operating mainly in New Jersey where she is licensed, Dr. Reyes offers several services related to mental health. The most frequent services that she performs include firearm evaluations, violence risk assessments, and evaluations to shed light on various family dynamics. “While I am more behind-the-scenes than traditional therapists, I still do a lot of face-to-face work with individuals, as assessments can take up to three hours or more,” summarizes Dr. Reyes. “There are a lot of factors that I look for. How do they relate to me during the assessment? Are they able to maintain their composure throughout the interview? My evaluation begins the moment I speak with a potential client over the phone. I obtain all sorts of data over the course of the evaluation which is then shared with the court. I’m trained to examine minute details that some might overlook.” She also offers court-mandated treatment, expert witness testimony, and public speaking. “Above all else, my goal is to be objective,” declares Dr. Reyes.
